Norcross Community Market has been selected to receive an AgSouth Farm Credit farmers market support grant in the amount of $500. The market was one of fifty markets throughout AgSouth’s territory in Georgia and South Carolina to receive a portion of $25,000 in total grant funds. The grant will be used for advertising and promotion of the venue.

Farmers market coordinator Connie Weathers said, “We are very thankful to have been selected to receive AgSouth’s Think Outside the Store® farmers market grant.”

According to AgSouth Farm Credit Marketing Director Christy Smith, “To be eligible to receive a grant, applicants had to provide a detailed marketing plan describing how they would use the grant funds to promote the market. Norcross Community Market was chosen because of its strategic and very specific marketing plan designed to increase public awareness of the market.”
